Ffosffald Isaf, Ceredigion, Wales

Ffosffald Isaf is a modern, 'green' - yet sensitive - conversion of a traditional West Wales farmhouse in a secluded location with fantastic views across the famous Teifi valley. Located down its own private track, with access over 180 acres of private pasture (and many miles more of public footpath), Ffosffald is a wonderfully peaceful place to stay. It was constructed in 1903 and remains a clean and bright stone farmhouse cottage, though today it has a ground-source heat-pump provides 'green' heating 24 hours a day.

Managed by award-winning agency Under the Thatch, Ffosffald Isaf is just a 20 minute drive to stunning coastline and beaches. What's more, home-cooked evening meals can be delivered hot (by arrangement with the property manager).
